Colt m1911a1 WIP

[Flaming Bunneh]

Hello 405th members, I'd like to show you today my Colt WIP.
This is my first real experience making something reasonably complicated.
It's constructed out mainly out of Remu, with some plywood for grip.
Pretty much made most of it so far with only hand tools, and a belt sander, but have started to work on it with a milling machine.

Now for the (Low quality) Pictures.

Any comments, tips or questions are appreciated.

looks good what type of clay is that also welcome to the 405th and forums.

 

[Flaming Bunneh]

it's not clay, It's wood. Remu is a timber native to New Zealand.
also thank you for the welcome.

now, there is a LOT of inaccuracy's with this gun, however that's fine with me. not bad for my first major woodwork project, right?

Looks great. Only thing really wrong I see so far is proper trigger control.
